did ub40 sample/borrow yabby you?

Post by super ape »

my friend who doesn't really know much about jamaican music heard me playing conquering lion dub and said it was the "same song" on a ub40 album.
i don't know any ub40 aside from them doing red red wine which i didn't care for.
i told my buddy i doubted it but you never know. at least i don't know.

"UBs used the intro to "conquering lion" on "mispent youth"
It is sample on "B-side" of the single "The Train is Coming": http://www.ub40.co.uk/discography/train-cd1.html
Your friend is their hardcore fan I guess.

just out of curiosity i checked the track, terrible house music

and yes it features the 'you yabby yabby youth' lyrics in a sample

but the sample in the intro is off course Big Youth - Marcus Mosiah Garvey on fox.
